A SMALL but highly interested
group of teachers assembled at the
High School building Saturday
morning. Many others would prob
ably have been in attendance had
not the clerks of their districts fail
ed to give notice of meeting. The
topics under discussion were: |.
Globe aud lis uses; >. Governm ent
survey of public lands; 8 Methods
of teaching reading to third reader;
4. Mental arithmetic. Prof. Caban-
liz conducted the meeting and
brought out some excellent ideas on
each topic, the class freely asking
questions and taking notes. The
teachers who failed to attend this
meeting missed q valuable oppor-
tunity to become familiar with the
latest and best methods of teaching
the subjects under discussion. The
next meeting will be held on the I'd
Saturday Of January, 1888. Topics:
/. Climatic changes, their causes
and effects; Q Letter writing; 3.
Forms of government from school
district to U. s.; 4. Process of law
making in Wis; S. The "Grading
System;' has it helped us?
A STRANGE man, under the intlu-
erce of liquor, rushed up the stair
way leading to Wm. Perry's resi-
dence, on High street, last Friday
evening between five and six O'Clock,
and when near the back door acted
as though he wanted to take leap
TO the ground, a distance Of three
stories. His racket brought Mrs.
Perry To the door, whom he greeted
in loud, profane manner This
brought Mr.. Perry, who was within,
to the scene, and the man was per-
suaded TO go in. When in the
house he ranted and swore and tore
around in an uncomfortable manner,
knocking over chairs, stands, flower
pots, etc. This caused Mr.. Perry to
call on Deputy Sheriff Sims, who
was, upon trying to control the
GRAZ ed fellow, struck at four or five
times, and before Sims could master
the situation he had to knock down
his same with a clip right from the
shoulder. The wretch was then
taken to the city Jail, and not being
able to pay the fine imposed the
next morning, he was taken to the
county cooler for sixty days. Who
he is or what 10 person could find
out. lie was as mum as an oyster
throughout in that particular.

for s6 hours. What fell the first
day was accompanied by consider
able moisture. Then the stmos phere
turned colder and that which came
down afterwards counted. The
white blanket averages about foot
thick. In some places it is tied i'll

reports we have Jared better than
the country generally. Away east
snow is two feet deep, and plenty of
frost. North and west and south
west the snow is very deep and cold
intense.

As A newspaper the Chicago Eoea-
ing Journal is squarely aud watch
fully up with the requirements of
the times, spsriug neither expense
nor effort ia obtaining the very lat
est news from all portions of the
country and world. As a careful,
trustworthy and olive" newspaper it
it is the equal of any, and in the
matter of reliability its reputation
is too well established TO need ad-
yertisement to the public. In the
Weekly journal the farmer will find
valued and trustworthy companion.
1t and the TRIBUNE can be had one

THE public schools closed last
Friday for a two weeks vacation,
and the occasion was accepted as a
favorable opportunity for the recog-
milton Of ability and faithfulness on
the part of both teachers and jani-
tors. The teachers and scholars
combined in securing for Mr.. Thos.
Lutey, the janitor, an easy chair and
hanging-lamp, which action the
whole community commeEds. The
several teachers were kindly remem-
bered by their pupils, the presents
generally being inexpensive yet are
highly valued as tokens of remem-
brance from the doners. 1t il a
pleasure to see this display of gen
erosity. The city schools as a whole
are in a progressive and orderly con
dition.
